Fodor's Expert Review Lamberts
$$$
Downtown with Sixth Street and Rainey Street
Barbecue
Lamberts draws a broad range of downtown business crowds, local foodies, and Second Street tourists for its stylish take on Texas barbecue. You know this isn't your father's barbecue joint when you hear Belle & Sebastian coming from the speakers instead of Willie or Waylon. For further evidence, there's Chimay beer on tap and an Ahi tuna ceviche on the menu. Appetizers range from crispy wild boar ribs to broiled Gulf oysters with apple-smoked bacon. The restaurant, housed in a two-story 1873 brick building, features a lovely whitewashed brick interior, leather booths, and an upstairs bar with more dining space and a stage for live music.
